low buck BMW continues

It pays to scour classified advertisements!

I just picked up brand new in box H&R sport springs for 125.00

I guess instead of ordering the Magnaflow exhaust I'll be buying some Bilstein's to finish the upgrade. No more "floaty" ride as Rick commented on earlier.

I also am picking up an Iphone plug in adaptor for 25 bucks. I still need the mounting box/base and I am not really sure if the cable is hanging inside the center armrest or not because the low buck 1er was not orininally optioned with Bluetooth? Anyone have any information on this retrofit.

When you have the remainder of the suspension bits you can always come by the house. I have all the tools needed to do the whole suspension.........minus a lift and subframe bushing puller.

Just the shock & Springs (struts). I dont see a need to pull the subframe bushings.

I assume you have space?

It will require an allignment though yes?

The minus portion was because I don't have those tools.

The garage has space to work without any issues. Since the geometry of the suspension will change some, I would advise it.

Your welcome. BTW.......my 1er is back in action. Sadly, I have to wait until next week for coding of the injector. I want to see their reaction when they decide to look under the hood.

I pick the exhaust up tomorrow, the springs are in, and the JB4 should be back in a week. Install party on the 8th or 9th with some beer at your house?
